Along South County Trail in Exeter, this ranch’s old roof had simply served its time. Pinnacle Roofing & Skylights replaced it with Owens Corning TruDefinition Duration shingles in Sierra Gray — a straightforward house given a straightforwardly excellent roof.

Scope of Work

The crew stripped the old shingles, inspected the deck, and rebuilt the system: ice and water shield at the eaves, synthetic underlayment across the field, new drip edge and starter course, Duration field shingles in Sierra Gray, and matching ridge caps along the ranch’s long, clean ridgeline — the kind of roof geometry that lets a good crew show pure speed without cutting a single corner.

What We Installed (And Why)

Owens Corning TruDefinition Duration shingles are built around patented SureNail Technology: a woven engineered-fabric strip embedded in the nailing zone, creating Triple Layer Protection where fabric and both shingle layers overlap. The practical translation — nails grip a reinforced band instead of bare asphalt, which is why Duration holds its own in open, windy country like Exeter’s.

Sierra Gray runs cool granite tones with subtle variation — a color that keeps a single-story home looking long and low the way ranches want to look, and pairs as easily with white as with earth-tone siding.

Good To Know: What makes a ranch roof a one-day job?

Simple geometry and honest access. A ranch offers long unbroken planes, a single ridgeline, few penetrations, and eaves a crew can reach without staging — so tear-off, deck inspection, and installation flow without the slow zones that dormers and valleys create. That is also why a ranch reroof is the best value in roofing: nearly every dollar goes into materials and craftsmanship rather than complexity management.

Why This Approach Works

A complete tear-off and single-manufacturer system on simple geometry is roofing at its most efficient — nothing inherited, nothing improvised, and a wind-gripping shingle chosen for a town where open fields let gusts build a running start.
